I'm trying to ID a rose.
Has anybody had any great success in doing this via a Rose site?
You know, where you fill in sections on blooms, leaves, habits etc etc? |

Hiya Annie-I have had limited success trying to ID roses on these sites but then the roses I am trying to ID are OGR's and pretty obscure.
You will probably have more luck with more modern ones-though so many of them are similar in colour etc.
Why not post a pic here and see how it goes?
If no positive response try some of the urls below.
best regards

Well, this little, wee mini is a cutting from the elderly lady next to my sisters who got it heaven-only-knows how long ago from the lady across the back who was elderly when the elderly lady next to my sisters wasn't elderly.
It's one of the cutest little minis with some of the nastiest thorns I've ever seen!!
Even the leaves have thorns!!
Just a bit smaller than Fairy, less petals than Fairy, I think. Basically white with pink tones during maturity but fades again to white when it's old (sort of like our hair!!) and they are in big clusters but they don't droop like Fairy's can. The overall effect is very pretty with all these pink and white blooms.
Perfume is rather spicy, not at all rose-like.
Quite a compact little bush standing no higher than about 60-70cms.
You can get an idea of how small they are by the glass which is quite ordinary sized.

| whadda ya rekon about this one? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Marie Parvie
RE: Sites to I.D. roses...more on Marie

Well, this is bizarre.....when you go to that site, click on "photos" and just have a look at the range of roses they are calling Marie Parvie...talk about weird!!
The first rose I saw looked pretty much like mine but then the next time I went to the site, there was a definitely pale pink, HT-looking rose viewing...huh? |

Yeah Annie-that's what i mean-people are free to upload their own pics of roses there so you get a lot of 'NOT' roses.
It could very well be Marie Pavie or Yvonne Rabier.
It is most certainly a Polyantha-and an old one at that.
I tried refining the search on HMF to white Polyanthas but it just won't bring anything up.Very frustrating.
I will check my rose books tomorrow and make a list of posibles ok?
best regards

You're a gem.
Thanks very much.

Annie-from the description and pic I think it could be Little White Pet.Or any of the ones mentioned above. *grin*
The thorns point to LWP though.

| Certainly not Little White Pet. No button eye, and insufficient petals. Has the appearance of Yvonne Rabier, especially the foliage. If not, my guess would be Katharina Zeimet. |
